The weekly lunch


Seems to be a weekly feature on here but until I hear a big giant STOP from you guys, I'll keep doing it.
Frozen pizza cooked this morning and packaged hot. The best grapes we have ever had - Costco. Microwave popcorn - Costco - great for munching. LeClerc peanut free cookies - Costco. Yogurt - Source - blueberry pomegranate - Fresh Co. Chocolate jello - my baby boys favorite - Costco.

Is there a theme running here? We seem to spend a lot of our grocery budget at Costco. Pudding lasts about a month, grapes a week, popcorn a month, LeClerc cookies 2 months. Yogurt is a weekly buy and the pizzas are only bought when I can get them on sale.

So there you go - more info on our lunch habits than you ever wanted to know!

Wished our lunches at home looked as good as yours do! Yummy, yummy, yummy.

Sun shining and blue sky again today and temp is -3 but the wind is quite cool. Still better than -40 so we'll take it. Stan's heading out shortly to have coffee with his buddy and there's a book calling me to the couch this afternoon.

Hope everyone is doing well - BIG HUGS TO ALL!

Lunch looks good. That is my favorite meal of the day. We normally have a healthy breakfast, lunch around two and supper around eight, which is way too late for the body. Luckily, that has become our smallest meal of the day so maybe we're on to something. Today we had salmon on sandwich thins and an orange for lunch. Made a creole dish for supper and have now had my weekly allotment of water. Denis loved it, even the salad was spicy. I could lose weight on this diet....I wish.

Visited some plantations today and took a ferry across the mighty Mississippi River. Next to the Oceans, this is my favorite water place. It is majestic, it puts food on tens of thousands of peoples plates, it provides income from the amazing amount of industry that ply its waterway. We have never seen so much industry, refineries, chemicals, minerals. We were awed by how many huge plants there were with their augers reaching across the roadway and levee to pump directly into the ships. We figured it would be a scenic route along the River Road, but it was an amazing show of how huge some of these companies are. There were pipelines paralleling the roadway then going up to form an arch over the road high enough so that large truck could get through safely. Wouldn't want to live anywhere along there but it really was amazing.

Tomorrow, we are 'on the road again' headed to Kinder,LA. We plan to visit the Tabasco plant on Avery Island, Lafayette and Lake Charles from there. Don't have any reservations until the 17th so we can take some extra days here and there if we want to. We are supposed to meet friends in Yuma on the 11th but I guess being a couple of days late won't matter. We really want to do the Riverwalk again in San Antonio and sit on the patios for Happy Hour. We have a couple of days we can juggle with but sometimes the places you think will be duds turn out to be spectacular.

The storm warning blew away and it was a beautiful day today. More of the same for the next couple of days only quite a bit warmer, high 20s.

Love to all
